constrain joint movement

Unity Engine

hey folks!

i am working on an user interface that consists of 3d objects that are connected to each other via spring joints. the problem is that i want a 2dimensional interface - unfortunately there is no option to constrain the movement of the connected objects to 2 dimensions.

does anybody know how to do this. probably by scripting?

cheers.chris

A ConfigurableJoint should work. I was a little intimidated by the huge list of options in the inspector. Once you figure it out though, it’s pretty simple to make a spring joint. Then you can lock the movement on the z-axis.

oh thanks! i’ll try that…
